Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 692 - 76: Lin Rui’s 7th-Level Clone_2

Rose looked expressionlessly at Lin Rui's arm draped over her shoulder and asked, "So this behavior is also normal?"

Although feeling immense pressure from Rose, Lin Rui steadied his breathing with a strong mindset and calmly said, "Isn't it normal? Among humans, friends put their arms around each other's shoulders. Aren't elves inherently cold, lacking this kind of intimate interaction?"

Rose's momentum halted, and she would never admit that she hadn't formed intimate relationships with others.

So she only glanced indifferently at Lin Rui without reacting and then looked forward, saying, "Although there is chaos in the evil faction, it doesn't seem to improve our situation. The fierce battles between the Graveyard and Hell may lead them to finish their fight early and come for us. But Laidi Xichen's rebellion still hasn't been quelled by the Empress!"

Lin Rui, smelling the fresh scent of herbs and trees from Rose, felt at ease and spread his hands wide, saying, "Then it depends on whether your Empress or Emperor Setra is more reliable. If it really doesn't work out, we can only fight while retreating and wait for the World Tree Root to transport us."

Rose said firmly, "Without a doubt, the Empress surpasses Setra by far!"

She had a fanatical faith in the Empress, which Lin Rui did not share.

So Lin Rui turned and walked toward the Dark Angel battleship; now with someone as skilled as Rose as a bodyguard, the Dark Angel finally could unleash full firepower to smash the undead.

Rose immediately asked, "Hey, at such a critical moment, where are you going?"

"To enhance some combat power."

"How are you going to enhance it? Help me enhance as well," Rose demanded unceremoniously.

Lin Rui immediately raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Don't follow me. Once you board this battleship, we're in it together, life and death. You wouldn't want to suddenly lose your head one day if I die in battle, would you?"

Rose halted immediately, looking incredulously at the Dark Angel before her, asking, "This thing can also execute Tier Ten Legendary heroes?"

"It's a Legendary-level Taboo Object. Perhaps only when you reach Demigod-level will you possibly disregard its traits."

Rose pondered for a moment but ultimately chose to stop.

Subsequently, Lin Rui and Violet walked side by side into the captain's room of the Dark Angel. Violet asked, "Lord, I don't think the elf's rebellion is as simple as it seems. The Elf Imperial Court has been aloof for too long, and they might find it hard to quickly reclaim the World Tree Root. We must prepare for the Graveyard's assault. What are your plans?"

Lin Rui sighed and said, "This time, it might be necessary to make a loss-generating deal."

Violet raised her heroic eyebrows and asked, "Are you planning to use the Dark Angel's ship cannon?"

Only that would consume vast amounts of wealth.

Lin Rui nodded and said, "That's right. With Rose as a guard, the Dark Angel no longer needs to worry about being destroyed by the enemy. As long as we avoid Emperor Setra, we can freely bombard the enemy army. By the end of a day, we can also smash a million-strong undead army."

However, the loss of these Spiritual Gems and Spirit Crystals would be distressing to the point of convulsing.

Yet, having spent such an enormous amount of wealth is bound to significantly resist the Graveyard's strike.

But as long as we can win, everything can be reimbursed in the victory.

Once we successfully retreat back to the Elf Imperial Court, the Empress will have to compensate Lin Rui anyway, right?

Then Lin Rui loaded 30,000 Tier Five Spiritual Gems, 300,000 Tier Four Spiritual Gems, and as many as twenty million Spirit Crystals into the Dark Angel in one go!

All Spiritual Gems acquired during this period were committed to a single battle.

Violet asked, "Lord, it's time to replenish the soldiers for the third cycle of Dark Angel. Do you have any plans?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui felt enormous pressure, as this was only the third cycle and the elite soldiers of the Golden Pansy Domain were already running low.

While not entirely insufficient, if their talent is lacking, throwing in Rare Level soldiers will result in a large number failing to pass the Dark Dead End, causing considerable reduction in troops.

And the number of Heroic Spirit-level soldiers is still relatively very limited.

Lin Rui thought for a moment and said, "Let's increase the investment. Add another squad of Heroic Spirit Knights and a squad of Heroic Spirit Level Heavy Spartan Guards."

Lin Rui failed to obtain the Divine Element Secret Trace from the Empire but did get ten Obsidian Hearts, each equivalent to 1000 Plane War Merit Points and 10000 Plane War Reputation Points.

The Plane War merit will definitely be used to exchange for Heroic Spirit-level soldiers, the Heavy Spartan Guards.

There are still hundreds of Heroic Spirit Knights as well. Before the Plane War, Lin Rui already had 460 Heroic Spirit Knights under his command, and after the blessing of the [Imperial Military Decree], hundreds more Heroic Spirit Knight Commanders appeared.

Temporarily supplementing this cycle of the Dark Angel is sufficient, but in a few more cycles, there will likely be a shortage.

Violet solemnly said, "Lord, I think it's necessary to enhance the talent of the Golden Pansy Knight Order. Although the combat strength of the Knight Order is very strong, the ordinary soldiers still primarily consist of Elite-level, with over ten thousand of the fifteen thousand knights being Elite Knights. This has already become the biggest shortcoming limiting the Knight Order's combat strength."

Lin Rui nodded.

The trait of the Knight Order is undoubtedly very strong, even to the point of being awe-inspiring.

Even the Cavalry Division led by a Legendary Heroic Commander might not be able to match the Golden Pansy Knight Order in combat strength.

Under the blessing of two Divine Spirits and the Princess's Blessing, the Golden Pansy Knight Order can easily defeat Rare Level units and not necessarily fall behind even when fighting against the Elf Imperial Court Guard led by Yewei. Even though they are Heroic Spirit-level soldiers.

However, because of such a strong trait, the Golden Pansy Knight Order's combat style is somewhat too straightforward, relying on their powerful traits to crush the opponent directly.

In battles against the enemy, this is naturally advantageous.

But in this idealistic world, under the Legendary trait, many times the Golden Pansy Knight Order has to fight not only against opponents but also against themselves, overcoming their own challenges.

Their lower talent and lack of combat skills become apparent.

In the face of attacks controlled by a Legendary-level Machine Spirit, the Mirror Image attack, Elite-level troops are completely powerless to resist, Rare Level have a high probability of dying in battle, and even Heroic Spirit-level might fall.

At least reaching Heroic Spirit-level makes the losses acceptable.

So, indeed, the next step should be to enhance the talent of the Golden Pansy Knight Order, promoting many Rare Level knights to Heroic Spirit-level.

Violet had previously mentioned this issue to Lin Rui, and it now seemed very urgent.

Lin Rui said, "I will fully focus on this matter next, to ensure the knights find a path to advance."

However, this matter is temporarily unsolvable even if urgent. Lin Rui currently cannot leave, so he must first enhance his own combat strength to face the challenges posed by the Graveyard.

But based on the traits of Graveyard and their arch-enemies, the Saint Hall.

The Saint Hall might drop a lot of useless Graveyard items, and severely damaging the Graveyard might get us some enhancement items from the Saint Hall.

Lin Rui thought it necessary to find a way to venture a bit into the Graveyard's territory.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Rui decided to strengthen the Heart of the Water Element.

He invested a large amount of Universal Experience into it.

[Heart of the Water Element lv25: Water is the source of all things. When water has an elf core made by Spiritual Energy, it can immediately construct a powerful Water Elemental Warrior by consuming Spiritual Energy. The Water Elemental Warrior's attributes are affected only by the Spiritual Energy limit and the special attribute Soul Strength enhancement. The current maximum level of the Water Elemental Warrior can exceed its own level by 25 levels.]

Lin Rui looked at his own level. Although he hadn't personally participated in combat these past few days, the vast amount of kills had still pushed his level to Tier Six Level 15.

This means that the Water Elemental Warrior he summons can reach as high as Tier Seven!
